“Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!” everyone screamed as the roller coaster hurtled around the curve.
“Hang on!” shouted Cheryl to her classmates.
The ISB fifth grade classes were on a field trip to Wonderland, the biggest and best amusement park in the world. Wonderland is a fantasy fun park in Japan where people come from all over the world to have fun. The 5th graders had saved enough money from book sales, bake sales and recycling projects to fly to Wonderland for one week.
Then we arrived there. First thing that some people did was to go to play basketball and some of them soccer. “Ryan, let’s go.” said Lau.The coach is waiting for us, let’s go to play basketball. We are going to play right there where Ms. M is standing so hurry, we are so late.
“People here in Japan are so good at basketball man, I think we are going to lose. We must keep our eye on them or we are going to lose,” shouted Ryan.
2:1… We were losing..
Patty passed her ball to me. I dribbled and passed to Wit. Hooray!! 2:2… Tom started to dribble and passed to Kie-Won. Kie-Won ran and passed to the nearest person from the basket Anisa, and dribble, OOPS!
Anisa opened her eyes in emergency room in Wonderland.
She looked sick…

Groups of kids went to surround Mrs.Mongno as Mrs. Mongno started calling their names.
“Get into groups of three guy!”Mrs.Mongno shouted to us while we were chatting together.
The kids started bumping into each other as they were trying to find their friends in the big crowd. Kids started calling each others name to find their friends but the fuss grew louder and louder.

“Everyone just get into groups 3-5 that will be fine!” One of the teacher called.
Once everyone got into groups the teachers started annoucing”Get a ball.One per each group, we will practice before the game starts,”again and again. The balls that was used went all around the place. Sometimes I missed the ball and it went so far back and I had to get it. I got so exotic.
10 minutes passed and we had to start the real game. We sorted our self into two groups. Each group had some sub cause there we so much players.
“WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID!”the coach blew the whistle and the game started.
Ms. M on December 8, 2007 4:26 pm
“Anisa! Are you alright?” Ms. Mongno asked anxioiusly. She knelt down by the bedside as Anisa opened her eyes.
“Yahooooo!” everyone shouted as Anisa blinked and smiled, “She’s okay!” they yelled.
“Excuse me children, you must be quiet. This is a clinic. You all are way too noisy!” scolded the frowning nurse. “Will you please leave this instant? Anisa is going to be fine. Just a little bump on the head.
“You wouldn’t believe the shot Anisa made to win the game.” Gemy whispered loudly. “She sank the ball, but then tumbled onto her head on the way down. She saved the day!”
“Okay guys, let’s get back out into Wonderland and have some fun! exclaimed Ms. Mongno. “All this excitement has made me hungry and thirsty! Who’s ready for something to eat and drink?”
kiewon on December 10, 2007 4:50 pm

Emi on December 10, 2007 8:53 pm
“Me!” someone shouted. There were too many people. Nobody knew who was talking. “I’m so hungry and thirsty! Let’s go quickly! the same person shouted again.
“Ok! I think people are ready to go!” Mrs. Mongno announced as she stood up.
All the people took their stuff, trying to keep up with Mrs. Mongno.
“Where should we go? What would you like to eat?” she asked.
“I want to eat french fries!” someone shouted.
“I want to eat a hamburger!” a girl screamed.
“Ok, guys! I can’t hear everybody at once. Raise your hands!” Mrs. Mongno told everybody.
kiewon on December 11, 2007 4:42 pm
We have to wait for 20 minutes to ride a bumper car. And finally it was our turn! We ran to bumper cars and we weared seatbelts and the music came out from the radio and the cars began to move.
Oops!! Crash! It was very fun but it heart when we crashed! When the time was over almost every body wanted to ride one more time but some people was sick at that.
“Ahhhhh!!! This bumper car is so good. Can we do it again for 5 minutes only Mrs.Mongno?” asked Wit.
“No,” she said.
“Please????” begged Wit.
“No, no, no!” said Mrs.Kleps. “It’s night time, we have to go back to the hotel and sleep. Tomorrow is a new day, you can do it tomorrow.”
“Ooooohhh mannnnn, ok Mrs. Kleps,” Lau groaned.

while we were sleeping I was dreaming that next day everybody was looking for the earthquake but we coudn’t find it and everybody wanted to go there.
asked to a Japanese guy, he knew where it was but he coudn’t explain in English, so we had to searsh somemore but then we got an ideia! Ryotoro, he can speak Japanese.
Then they talked for 5 minutes but still, we didn’t find.
Then Timo heard a noise of a girl screamimg “here, Timo shouted with a big smiley on his face it’s here he said”.Everybody went there it was so expensive and we din’t have enogh money for everybody.

“Wooooooooooooo! That was a miracle,” Gemy said to Ms Mongno.
“Yeah,”Cheryl added.
“Let’s go and play something like the bumping car yesterday,”Wit said, “Come on, come on quick.”
Minutes passed and we were at the “Space Mountain” area.
“Kids,who wants to go on the Space Mountain? If you do come to the line. Oh, also get into group of 3 because in the Space Mountain there will be rows and each with 3 seats.” Ms Mongno annouced. Once the fifth graders heard that they all went in the line making a big fuss about who will be with who.
“Be quiet guys! Remember we are just a guess not the owner who can make such a big fuss!” Mrs.Kleps shouted.
It was Anisa’s turn, the first girl who went on, we started shaking. Gemy’s group was shaking badly so Mrs.Attonito went to ask what was wrong.
“WE don’t … Want to …to…” Cheryl said not finising her sentence.”go on anymore,”Gemy finished it.
“That does seem to be a problem because you can’t go ot because you are in the room to go in now, before at the line you should have gone out,” Ms. Attonito said.

Wit said “wake up! Wake up! Tom. We will be late for the bus. They are almost leaving to the Amusement Park.” So, Tom go taking shower and we run to the bus. We said sorry to Mrs. Mongno that we are late. So we went into the bus. Everybody in the bus decides to play Space Mountain. Cheryl, Kiewon and I scream when we ride in the Space Mountain. Others did not scream at all. Now Mrs. Mongno said “it’s time for lunch everyone”. Everyone run to the food shop.

We ran through the door out of the hotel.
We looked around. Everybody was running.
“Calm down, people,” Ms. Mongno said try to get everything under control.
“stay away from the buildings! they might fell down on you!” a teacher warned.
We went out of there and we had no where to go. We thought it was going to stop really fast but it didn’t, the earthquake was getting bigger and bigger then we thought.
“What are we going to do?” said Tom.
“Let’s wait until somebody gives as a place to go” said Mrs.Mongno “Then please someone come get us” wit thought in his mind.
“Its so cool out here I can’t wait to go inside some where.

Suddenly a small shelter fell.
BANGGGGGGGGGGG!
“Quick guys no time to hang around here it’s really dangerous!” Mrs.Mongno bellowed.
Everyone ran screaming turning around,back and forward to see if another building had fell.Some
people were screaming and shouting names because they couldn’t find the person in the crowd.As the earth shook harder the fuss grew louder.Everyone was shock because their were so many earthquake going on in Japan.
“If there are so many earthquake round here maybe we will have to go back to Thailand because it isn’t safe,” A teacher shouted but not much people can here it because of the screaming that was going on.
“Wid! Widddddddddd!” The policeman blew the whistle to show that the people should run because another building was falling.
We started to run to bus terminal, because there was our bus that will take us to airport. We ran and ran. Finally, I saw that bus terminal but the others seemed like they were going to other way.So I shouted,
“RIGHT HERE GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!THE BUS TERMINAL IS RIGHT HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Mrs. Mongno and some guys and girls were running. We went in to terminal and Mrs. Mongno started to count the students(right now we looked like mystery travelers ^——————-^)and it was perfect! We were ready to ride that big bus with Japan flag on it. I was siting with Gemy. The bus started to move but the road that we have to pass was blocked because of earthquake.
Bus driver said something in Japanese and Fumiki answered back and said
“Mrs. Mongno, we have to walk. It`s not really far from here.”
Big breath came out from Mrs. Mongno`s mouth.
We stood up and came out of our bus.

Thank goodness we all had our plane tickets in our nametags. “Over there! There’s our plane!” shouted Ryan. We ran in mass toward the Thai Airways plane and scrambled aboard. We heard the pilot say, “We will be leaving in 3 minutes, buckle your seatbelts please.”
